Re: Query: Advice on reading Prussian records in Kurrent
The Geheimes Staatsarchiv has some helpful resources for learning handwriting: https://gsta.preussischer-kulturbesitz.de/nutzung/arbeitshilfen/schriftb...
In my experience, the best way to learn German handwriting is to WRITE using it. Try writing letters (or shopping lists) in Fraktur.
Hope this helps.
